Three years ago, I founded my third company. I left my old company, risked my livelihood (again), put my social life on hold and bootstrapped Chirpify myself for over a year… because of Twitter.
I was so enthralled with the potential and promise of what Twitter had created, that I had to be a part of what I knew was going to be a fundamental shift in the way people live and communicate.
Now, on the eve of Twitter’s IPO, I feel a certain kinship. It’s like the idea — the promise that I first connected with —is being validated by the world at large in the free market equivalent of a Super Bowl victory.
